The command you are looking for is: yum list xorg-x11-drv-ati It will show you the installed version and any other versions in the repos you have enabled. > yum search radeon produced: > radeontool.i686 : Backlight and video output configuration tool for > radeon cards > xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd.i686 : Xorg X11 radeonhd driver for AMD GPG > r[5-8]xx > : Chipsets > xorg-x11-drv-catalyst.i686 : AMD's proprietary driver for ATI graphic > cards > akmod-catalyst.i686 : Akmod package for catalyst kernel module(s) > chess.i686 : 3D chess game > kmod-catalyst.i686 : Metapackage which tracks in catalyst kernel module > for > : newest kernel > kmod-catalyst-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686.i686 : catalyst kernel > module(s) for > : > 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 > ... > kmod-catalyst-PAE.i686 : Metapackage which tracks in catalyst kernel > module for > : newest kernel-PAE > xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-devel.i686 : Development files for > xorg-x11-drv-catalyst > xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs.i686 : Libraries for xorg-x11-drv-catalyst Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about the ATI proprietary driver. Its called Catalyst now (fglrx is the "old" proprietary driver). They dropped support for the older chipsets that fglrx used to support that is now supported by the radeon driver. If your board is supported, you might want to give it a try. I used to use the fglrx driver back when the radeon support for my chipset was in its infancy and didn't yet support 3D on my chipset. Nowadays I use the radeon driver as the 3D support for my chipset now works. YMMV, but it might be worth trying the catalyst driver.... You can find it in the RPMFusion-nonfree repo. RPMFusion also has a page dedicated to installing the proprietary driver at: http://www.rpmfusion.org/RPMFusionSwitcher -- Kevin J.
